Chocolate Birds’ Nest
- 7 ounces, weight Milk Chocolate, Good Quality Like Ghirardelli
- 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Diced
- 3-1/2 ounces, weight Shredded Wheat Cereal (about 4 Biscuits)
- 1/4 cups Unsweetened Coconut
- 36 pieces Small Pastel-colored, Sugar-coated Chocolate Eggs
- Line a muffin pan with 12 decorative cupcake liners. Place the chocolate and butter in a bowl and microwave on 50% power for 30 seconds. Stir and microwave for additional 10- to 15-second intervals until completely melted and smooth. Do not overheat or it will scorch.
- Using your fingers, crumble the Shredded Wheat into the melted chocolate and add the shredded coconut. Stir to coat using a spoon or your hands.
- Divide the mixture into the 12 cupcake liners. Press gently with the back of a spoon and make a small indentation in the center. Tuck three candy eggs into each nest. Allow the nests to rest for 2 hours before serving!
